I need a mechanical engineer I can order on Amazon
-
I actually have one, but he's busy. TTGO T1 Display GPS Speedometer/Trip Counter/Locator I need to mount this to a bicycle and it's absolutely vexing me. Seems more difficult than it should be. If I had a 3d printer, I'd be sorted but instead I have cats. I have a plastic container I'm going to cut up and velcro the to the bike. hopefully that works. (Sorry for the structure of this post. Codeproject.com is drunk and the editor isn't working.)

I have a cat and both FDM and SLA printers, and the coexist pretty well - the FDM is in a box, and the SLA is closed in anyway to keep sunlight UV out. I'd offer to print the bit for you but the shipping cost and delay would make it unfeasible. Perhaps there is a member in the US who could do it for you? Or get one, they can be pretty fun (and the newer SLA resins are a pretty ABS like)

Do you have an orange cat? I have a tiny domestic(ated) terrorist, with no fear and pretty much immune to the spray bottle at this point. If she so much as hears that thing make a sound she'll be all over it. :laugh:

Random thought: They make mobile phone holders for pushbikes. Can you adapt one of them?

Maybe, but the real challenge is getting all the components together into a unit, rather than mounting the unit to the bmx.

No, Dij is a black (with a little white) mass murderer and territorial assassin. He ignores them both, but used to attack the printer before I moved to laser. He can however make phone calls, send emails, and write encrypted letters. :sigh:

With a little practice, what you can make in terms of boxes to hold components is pretty much unlimited with a printer. Have a look at this: Adventures in 3D Printing Part 3: Making Complex Apertures - Recovering from the Bends[^] and this: Joseph Joseph Intelligent Waste Totem (60L) Lid Catch by OriginalGriff - Thingiverse[^] You can make some very accurate and complicated containers (and make them water resistant at least with silicon mastic) with a 3D printer.

Looks like a good display for bikers over 40! I would need riding bifocals to use the trip computer I used in my 20s.

I'm already questioning the abilities of the bicyclists around here. This isn't helping. I know this is generally not a popular opinion, but I've always wondered, I was about 7 when I realized a street is no place for a bicycle. Bumpers vs kneecaps type of thing, it seemed pretty simple in my 7-year old mind. What's their excuse?

I'd look for someone who could maybe 3d print an enclosure you could design yourself in some sort of CAD. The key bit is probably just the loop they'd typically use for other things to attach to the frame and it's basically a clamp driven by a screw. The dimensions don't have to really be perfect, especially since you may not care so much if it stays perfectly oriented (like you would your brakes). You could use something like foam tape with a bit of give to fill the gap.

If you saw me attempt to use a CAD program you'd laugh in my face before feeling profoundly sorry for me. That's why I want a mechanical engineer. :laugh: I have the spatial reasoning skills of a toaster oven.

I have those same skills at the same levels! But the thing about CAD/Blender/Max/Maya etc... you can't really get that so wrong. The visuals constrain physics impossibility (no Escher stuff). The rest is 'hard' science. How many millimeters is this edge? etc. Of course, then you're also adding another skill to learn more. But I figure you won't mind that so much.
